143 Cotham Road, Kew, Vic 3101

One of Kew’s most widely-admired façades near Glenferrie Road and leading private schools offers an outstanding introduction to ‘Repley; a substantial Federation-era, solid brick residence on the corner of Ermington Place. Distinguished by its slate roof, tall chimneys and leadlight entrance, this imposing nine-room home is a local landmark in a generous north-facing rear garden setting that while comfortable now offers remarkable scope to rekindle its enduring stature and grandeur.

Original period character with high decorative ceilings, marble fireplaces and a sweeping timber staircase complement a flexible ground-floor layout featuring a formal sitting room, living room, a bedroom or study and a functional kitchen, bathroom and a laundry. Four first-floor bedrooms with built-in robes offer complete comfort and are enhanced by a family bathroom and a dedicated study opening to a treetop’s balcony.

Further highlighting the rare appeal of this eminent property are sun-filled garden surroundings that include off-street parking and a double garage with gated access via both Cotham Road and Ermington Place. Immediately inviting with exceptional scope to introduce a stunning new layer of high-end luxury for future family excellence, ‘Repley’ represents a once in a generation lifestyle opportunity in a prime Kew hilltop position.

Steeped in history and standing as a testament to an era of craftsmanship rarely seen today, this grand residence with a commanding presence offers unrivalled convenience to blue-ribbon amenities including many of Melbourne’s most sought-after private schools, trams, Eastern freeway, Victoria Park, Anniversary Trail and the boutique shopping precincts of Glenferrie Road, Kew Junction, Harp Village and Balwyn.
